Octavia Butler is my inspiration. The first black woman to write science fiction. I really like how she broke the mold of most black writers, but man, whenever I read her books, most of the time, I wind up scratching my head and going “Huh?” Although the writing was wonderful, most of her science fiction [...]

Yeah. It’s a sappy title, I know. I can’t think of anything better.
But I really love spring. It’s my favorite season of all, particularly late spring, when the leaves on the trees emerge, and the days start hitting 80, 85 degrees. This week, I’ll have to go through our clothes and pack the sweaters and [...]

The month of May has been FUN for us.
In-law visits, a new roof being put in, Daniel’s birthday, Mother’s Day. Things have been pretty busy around here. So much so that I realized that I may need to curtail my writing activities. I didn’t feel completely bad about it. I knew I wanted to take [...]

Three years. That’s how long my son’s been on this planet now. Three full years.
Actually, I don’t know if there’s anything I can write here without it coming across as trite. I can gush and say how much of a sweetie he is, or I can wax poetic on how I carried him for eight [...]

When I went up to Michigan in April, I took along with me Turner’s book, just to have something to glance at. Turns out, seeing that I had a lot of writer’s block up there, I wound up reading it a lot. It’s a slim book, about 128 pages, but the material inside was so [...]

April has been a bad month for Willow. Birthdays, trips to Michigan, snotty noses, other stories suddenly becoming priority. I think throughout the entire month of April, I only worked did three chapters, when normally I do 6. And most of that was rewrites.
It’s something I grew very concerned about because I had just done [...]
